Wait

April 20, 2014

I wait

patiently most days

impatient most days

silent

loud

still

chasing after you

watching

them

all of them

happy in their perfect

white picket fence houses

waiting

go after it

here’s some ideas

do this, do that

I’m told at every corner

I nod kindly

screaming on the inside

NO!

so, I wait

I wait hiking parts of Mount Everest

I wait moving to Madrid

I wait jaunting off to Sydney

I wait booking an adventure in Croatia

I wait

patiently most days

impatiently most days

silent

loud

still

chasing after you.
